A source had previously told PEOPLE thatthe cause of Lawrence and Cope’s divorce was an alleged affairbetween him and Alves,which the actress denied. “First and foremost, I want to clarify that there was no sexual relationship between Joey and myself while we were on set filming Socked in for Christmas,” she wrote in a statement on Instagram in August. “Our relationship was a meaningful friendship that developed naturally due to the many similarities in our personal situations.”
Lawrence also weighed in on the allegations at the time, writing on Instagram that he “did not have a physical relationship” with Alves while filmingSocked In For Christmas, but rather their “bond was based on shared experiences and an understanding of the challenges we were both facing in our personal lives.”
He also called histwo-year marriageto Cope “beyond saving” and “deeply troubled” in the statement as he admitted the relationship was “fraught with difficulties from the beginning.”
Cope thencalled Lawrence’s description of their relationship “false accusations” that were “deeply troubling.”
“I am choosing to put my focus on healing, caring for my daughter and processing the loss of my marriage and my family,” she wrote in a statement to PEOPLE at the time.
